Two years later, “The Spider” will finally enter the Octagon again.
Anderson Silva has been through a lot since his last UFC fight, a decision win over Derek Brunson in February 2016. In the co-main event of UFC 234, scheduled Saturday night in Melbourne, the former middleweight champion meets rising sensation Israel Adesanya for a possible shot at the belt he held for years.
Silva and Adesanya squared off following the official weigh-in in front of thousands of fans on Friday, and Silva couldn’t hold back the tears when asked for his thoughts on his fight with Adesanya.
